1971 Chevelle Malibu New Paint Nice Parts Fast Street Driven Car on 2040-cars
Sacramento, California, United States
|
1971 Chevelle. Non ss. Car is registered and insured under my name. Can drive it on California 91 octane anywhere you want. I recently had the car painted in base clearcoat. Paint is nice and body is extremely straight as the pictures show. Car shows exceptionally well and gets a lot of attention. This car has never been in an accident and all body panels are original to the car except for the hood, which was replaced with an original Chevelle hood. There is absolutely no rust on this car.

Wheels Weld racing wheels front 165R15 tires Weld racing wheels rear 325/50/15 ET Street tires Tires are new. Rear wheels are new. Interior Front seats are new aftermarket buckets. Door panels are new Armrests are new Carpet is new Interior panels dyed black Paint and body I stripped the car down prior to bodywork. All bumpers, door handles, trim, and side glass removed. Removed engine to clean front frame, radiator support, control arms, and firewall. This was then primed and painted in base clear black paint. New Goodmark inner fenderwells were sprayed in gloss black single stage. Please keep in mind this was done in my two car garage so the body was not removed for this. The entire frame is not painted. Just the front section to the transmission tunnel area. Its not perfect but does look very nice. Next I reassembled the frontend and reinstalled engine. Then adjusted the fender and hood alignment. All panels line up great and hood opens and shuts correctly with no binding. Trunk lid was removed for prep. I ran out of time to fully prep the bottom of the hood prior to it going to paint shop. Looks good under hood still just not perfectly smooth as I would have liked. Car was sent to painter afterwards for final blocking and masking. The color I chose is called Havasu blue metallic. It is a factory color from a 2003 Honda Odyssey. It is a very similar color to the original light blue that was applied to these cars and is a very easy to obtain factory car color if future touchup work is ever needed. When i got the car back from paint I fully cut and buffed the paint. All of the trim, bumpers, door handles, etc. were in good enough shape for a driver so all of that was polished and put back on the car. Weatherstripping and all seal gaskets are new. Windows are very smooth and correctly adjusted. No shaking or rattling and seal up nicely. Engine was put together several years ago. Has been freshened up a few times as needed over the years but have found no reason to change a single thing on it. Has maybe 2000 miles since last rebuild. Transmission was recently done by the same person who built the engine. Roughly 1500 miles on that. This engine and transmission has proven dead reliable. I do not drive it often lately but it has been on several road trips that were a few hundred miles long without so much as a hiccup. Issues or things I believe should be fixed. The front windshield has a crack in it and drips water when I wash it. I would simply have it replaced as opposed to resealed. The car has had a switch panel installed in it for several years that it does not need. But it controls starter, electric water pump, fuel pump, and electric fan. Works fine. Just no reason to have it on a street car. Dashpad is cracked. Rear seat is not correct for the car. It dimensionally fits and looks right but it is not for that car. Lastly, I believe at some point the wiring harness should be replaced with a Painless harness. Everything works and I have seen no issues as of yet. But the car spent countless hours getting wetsanded. On top of being 40 years old, its just a nice way to modernize the wiring and save possible future headaches in my opinion. That is about all I can think of. The car is an absolute blast to drive and gets an overwhelming amount of attention. I guarantee you cannot take this car more than a few miles away from home without turning heads and getting compliments. You'll be lucky to get it out of your driveway before that. The car is not perfect but its certainly very nice. I have been accurate down to every detail that I can think of on this car but legitimate buyers are welcome and encouraged to see it in person during the auction or contact me for any questions NOT answered in the ad. Thanks for looking. Car is listed locally and if sold during the timeframe of this auction prior to meeting reserve, I will cancel bids and pull auction. Fred 916-390-5157 On Jun-29-14 at 12:06:27 PDT, seller added the following information: Reserve is very reasonable on the car. In order to be fair to all bidders, I will not release what that amount is though. Just bid what you are willing to realistically pay for the car. Thanks. |

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette
Mon, 07 Oct 2013How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
